Not really, it was more like...delight? A steering wheel sized tortuga hamburger dog with core holes sticking out in different directions (holes where the head, legs, tail come out on a real turtle) was what I was picturing. I was being 100% sincere when I said 'that's great,' but at the same...

My Ti hopper shipped with a leather sleeve yesterday. I'm curious to see if I get the free extra battery that was offered when I ordered, there's no mention of it in the packing list.

Cracking up over here, that's great, all of it, haha.

Ti ordered January 14, address confirmation today. I guess they're backed up on the SS. (Ottawa here, coucou les gars)

This is partly because you lose a decimal point on the display when you go over 10V, so you don't see the jitter as much. :science: Absolutely beautiful dog by the way, love that multidirectional grain.

Me too. I got home about an hour ago, put my dog into Drive, poured myself a rye & coke and filled my just-cleaned Matrix sidecar. Couple of NonG stems of Romulan because I'm still up for a bit, but mellow, will follow up with a stem or two of Purple God when it's time to KO. One of those nights...

Sweet mother of Pat Sajak...that thing is bananas.

Just a bit shy of half my 'on' voltage, 6V. Seems pretty low-stress on the core and the wood, and it heats up real quick when I turn it to 12.2V for the evening.

I get where you're coming from, but counterpoint: every dog is 100% unique, even the ones Dave puts out 'batches' of like birthday/holiday vapes. It's impossible for two of them to be the same. With this in mind, the moment you claim one and integrate it into your life, it's Your Underdog. Once...

Which ones? I really like the goncalo and lost cocobolo shorty. And the waist on that mahogany is a really cool near-illusion, but I've got a weakness for straight cylinders with thick walls. We've all got a type. :love:

Man, some nice pieces in that last batch, I'm gonna have to do some serious finger-math once I figure out my tax refund. :hmm:

Thanks, binning by resistance makes a lot of sense. How do people go about measuring their own? With a multimeter? Just through the DC jack? (I really appreciate how we have access to you and underdogette for peeks behind the curtain, goofing around, and regular old customer service, by the way)

I've been curious @underdog, how do you determine whether a core runs hot, cool, medium? Do you just sort of have a feel for it by now,* having built so many, or do you test resistance or temperature at a specific voltage with a probe? If someone sends in a dog for a recore, are you able to more...

I use a brick version of this (like a laptop power supply), same voltage dial and attachments, I like it a lot. When using the dimmer and LED display cable, I set the dial on the power supply to 13.5V, which is higher than I'll ever need (I typically run 12.2V) and offers a smoother 0-100% on...

It's a differently-tapered front end. There's no glass there that isn't part of the bubbler.

My wishlist: laser vision scuba kit when shaken, plays Cher's Believe responds to voice commands (well, just one: 'tea, Earl Grey, hot') when at rest on a level surface, plays Cher's Believe rotisserie

The results are going to be unreliable since they're pulse-width modulation dimmers. They're not actually controlling voltage, they're pulsing on-off cycles. So your first dimmer will be at a given on-off rhythm to put out '13.5v,' but at any given setting, your dimmer further down the line will...

Quiet week in here, where is everyone? :hmm: Today I got some LED voltage screen cables in the mail and they're brilliant. I've been using them to figure out my various power supplies' default output voltages (marking them on the body with a silver Sharpie), as well as to measure the drop...

One of my NonGs makes a single crack/tick sound about a second after I start drawing, right when it milks up the bubbler. I've developed a tiny Pavlovian pleasure response to it. :)

Took me a few seconds to figure out which way was up, haha. But yep, that's what I meant, makes it a piece of cake to tighten or let out the leash and only have as much length as you need. Thanks, that does make sense. Also good news that a core swap isn't impossible, if ever I find myself...
